The rapid advance in the price of coffee
will be bad news for all who enjoy their ma
tutinal cup of this wholesome beverage. 1t
is said that year ago $4,000 would buy a
thousand bags of coffee, and that the same
quantity now will cost $4,000 The rise is
attributed to speculation in the article all
over the world, based upon the expectation
that the crop of 1878 will be short Per-
haps we will have to return to the substi-
tutes for coffee used during the war, such as
rye, dandelon. sweet potatoes. &c.

An Extra Session Of Congress.

Considerable pressure has been brought 10
bear upon President Cleveland TO induce
him TO call an extra session of Congress. We
hope he will not yield to the clamor. The
most important question which will come up
when Congress assemblies again will be the
tariff, but it is by no means certain tl.at 1t
would be settled at an extra session, and the
Democratic administration would then be
tainted by the Republican press with squan-
dering the peoples money by an extra ses-
sion and failure to accomplish the object for
which the extra session was called.
1t is manifeslly certain that there must be
q reduction in the revenue collected every
year by the general government from the
people. No valid reason can be given why
ahundred millions of dollars should be cx-
torted from the people annually over and
above the sum required for an economical
administration Of the government That
vast sum had better remain in the pockets of
the people. II would remain then If the tariff
were reduced.
Both parties have declared unequivocally
in their platforms that this taxation shall be
reduced, but nothing has yet been DONE
Democrats in Congress have made several
efforts to lift the burden from the backs of
the people, but these efforts have always been
thwarted by the Republicans, aided by few
Democrats who are willing to sacrifice the
interests of the people for the benefit of the
monopolists whom they represent in Con-
gress. A reduction could have been made
any time if the Democrats had been willing
to let the tariff alone and cut off the internal
revenue taxes, such as those on whisky, to-
bacco, &C., but such action, while it would
have reduced the surplus in the Treasury,
would not have benefited the people. What
farmers, especially, want. is cheaper imple-
ments, cheaper fertilizers and cheaper neces-
saries of life. Lifting the tax on whisky might
cheaper that article but would not benefit
the people.
